The price of love in Toilet-bound Hanako-kun

     What price would you be willing to pay for the sake of love?  What would you be willing to do?

Toilet-bound Hanako-kun is a series that provides answers to these questions in rather interesting ways,

like with a name that would suggest that it wouldn't do these things.  I didn't know what to expect

myself when this series was recommended to me recently by a high school senior who still lives here

like me, but I figured I would give it a shot since I have the time now (I had this student in my anime

class before and he's one that already knew a lot about anime and still does).  Among many other things, the

video for this reflection also talks about the price of love in this series.

     The first episode is motivated by the pursuit of love, including what it costs (equivalent exchange is

mentioned, but I would say that would be necessary for this too, as well as for making any other deal),

but it isn't as clear as the series continues.  Love is not always clear.  You may know what you want at

first when it comes to love, but sometimes, time is necessary in order to figure that out, which Toilet-

bound Hanako-kun is an example of.
